Recipe:
🛒 Ingredients:

500g All-purpose flour
1 tsp Sugar (for the yeast)
1 packet (7g) Active dry yeast
380-400 ml (approx. 1.6 cups) Warm water
10g (2 tsp) Salt
1 tbsp Vegetable oil

Instructions:

1.Mix 1 tsp sugar and 1 packet of dry yeast into 200 ml warm water. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.

2. Microwave the flour for 50 seconds, then stir it slightly.

3. Transfer the warm flour into your stand mixer bowl.

4. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture.

5. Add the salt, oil, and the remaining 180-200 ml of warm water.

6. Knead on low speed. If the dough is too sticky, add 1-2 tbsp of flour.

7. Finish kneading by hand until you have a smooth dough ball.

8. Place in a floured bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size.

9. On a floured surface, fold the dough a few times (gently to keep the air in) and shape into a loaf.

10. Place into a greased and floured baking dish. Cover and let rise again for 30-45 minutes.

11. Preheat oven to 230°C (445°F). Place a rack in the middle and a pan with water underneath for steam (this creates the crispy crust).

12. Score the top of the bread diagonally with a sharp knife.

13. Brush with warm water and place in the oven.

14. Bake at 230°C (445°F) for 20 minutes, then reduce to 200°C (390°F) for another 20-25 minutes.

Tip: If the top browns too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil.

15. Let it cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
